Description
HISTORY:
The BT-7M was an improved version of the Soviet BT-7 light tank developed before the Second World War. The main improvement was in terms of the powerplant, and at the time it was built no other tank in the world could reach the same speeds

Development of a version of the BT-7 light tank began in the Soviet Union in 1938 with the construction of four prototypes at the Kharkov Locomotive Plant called the BT-8, which used a V12 diesel engine which was developed from the Hispano-Suiza 12Y aircraft engine. After the BT-8 was tested against the BT-7 it was determined to continue its development which resulted in the production version, designated BT-7M

The BT-7M had a 500 horsepower V12 engine chosen partly due to greater fuel efficiency. The hull was reinforced with braces and some of the fuel storage was removed due to the higher fuel efficiency of the engine. The BT-7M's engine also proved to be much safer in that it caught on fire much less often when hit by enemy fire. The BT-7M was proven to have a top speed of 62 km/h on tracks and 86 km/h with just wheels. Other than these changes, the BT-7M was fairly similar to the regular BT-7

The BT-7M entered production in 1939, replacing all earlier BT-7 variants on production lines. It was the last BT-7 variant produced with production lasting until 1941. Approximately 788 BT-7M tanks were built during that time period, being superseded on production lines by the T-34 medium tank. The BT-7M did end up seeing some combat during the Great Patriotic War.

MODDER'S NOTES:
this was very quick to do since all i had to do was change the speed and remove the rear gunner, so since i was able to do it in one day, i will rework both the SU-5-1 and T-26-4

WORKING AUTO HEADLIGHTS, WILL TURN ON WHEN IT'S NIGHTTIME, WORKS WITH DAY/NIGHT MUTATOR

Understood, best of luck with the project!

@Space Hobo i mean i'll do the BA-11, as much as i want too, i'm still very new at modding, therefore i can't make up stats to be balanced, all these stats are all related to the war thunder wiki, sooooo, maybe for a commission or future project

i'm sorry, but you know, war thunder has a lot of vehicles, and i'm handling them all, so these "side" vehicles aren't a first on the list of things i gotta mod, but vehicles like the mig-25 is definitely things i would love to do in the future, hopefully when ww2 of war thunder is done, as a one off or unrelated (the mig-25 isn't in war thunder, hopefully they release it eventually since i want it to be part of project snail)

Do you plan on doing the BA armoured cars? Even though there's only one in War Thunder, they represented a huge part of the armour the Red Army used in the Great Patriotic War.

@Kaoz00 maybe you can commission me, whenever i start making commissions, i'll still do the panzer III when i get to germany

@Kaoz00 atm, the only exported vehicle ik i'll do is the su-57, since for some reason america doesn't have it's t48 gmc (the original vehicle) in war thunder, for cases like that, i'll release them in a mini-pack, one with the soviet su-57 camo color, and another with the t48 gmc american camo
